The Travelling Assembly
Towards a permanent Peoples' Assembly for Europe
9. “Harness Technology, unleash collective intelligence” - PRINCIPLE
[Please note this latest version was made public on 25 May 2025, after the final meeting (External link) of the 2024/25 pilot Assembly]
Principle: Technology can be anti-social and manipulative if it is controlled exclusively by private interests, corporations or disruptive powers, and if it fails to pay attention to the many biases embedded in data-sets and algorithms - especially those processed by generative AI. But if it is democratised, it can be a powerful tool for our collective intelligence and contribute to countering extremism. Grassroots grown platforms embodying democratic design and operating standards should be encouraged and resourced. Within state, corporate or not-for-profit organisations, there should be no social spaces without democratic control.
